Set your project accounts (it's OK if you only use one host) then optionally set the appropriate filters - in my case my Google Code projects were prefixed with adamdotcom and I had duplicate projects on both GitHub and Google Code. By specifying remove:adamdotcom,remove:duplicate-items in my filters I filter out the duplicates and removed adamdotcom from the project name.

Strong opinions weakly held is a common conversational / debating approach within IT. Basically you defend your opinion until someone disproves it, at which time you adopt the more correct opinion. This approach works well in IT where allotted time for debates are limited and the cumulative knowledge of the team outweighs the individual. This approach doesn't work as well in the real world. Using this technique with unsuspecting civilians (especially new acquaintances) can results in the victim thinking you're a) high strung, b) psychotic, c) egotistical, d) possibly a jerk. Actually, this approach can get tiresome in the IT realm too.

I go for a walk every day (yeah-yeah, I'll be a mall walker one day). My route takes me by a series of automated parking payment machines - the ones where you punch in your license plate along with a parking quadrant. Surprisingly enough, these machines provide endless comedic relief as people talk, grumble, and curse these inanimate objects - some people go as far as to physically assault them, jam their keys in them, give 'em a good kick. It's funny to watch a level headed business man break his cool as he uses a car key to fish around in the coin slot while cursing. My favorite responses are the talkers; grumbling about the price of parking or technology in general. I'm sure they know the machine can't hear them, but yet they give that box of wires a piece of their mind.

If these talkers and grumblers were on the internet they'd most certainly be on Twitter or have a blog.
